Hey Bruce, thanks for reaching out. I went out to our warehouse and measured one of the Weigh Safe Hitch w/ Built-In Scale # WS66ZR. It has two hitch pin holes, so depending which one you use, the distance from the center of the hole to the back of the rise portion is either 3" or 4-1/4". I edited a picture to help illustrate.

How much length do you need for the rise portion to clear the bumper?

I need 6” on reciever shank or no more than 4.5” on the adjustable shank from the bottom of reciever shank?

I have a 2026 GLE450 SUV. I think it would just barely fit, but is there anyway to confirm on your side if this is available information? I.e. In rise position, would the rise portion clear the rear bumper? On GLEs the receiver is tucked under pretty low/far.

@Tom I don't have a way to confirm that on my end since I'm fresh out of 2026 MB GLE450 SUVs but next time you are near your vehicle you can measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper and you should be able to get a pretty good idea of whether it will fit or not. A while back we had a 2024 GLE SUV here at out shop and we did measure that distance to be exactly 4-1/2". So if that measurement is the same on the 2026 model, the fit would be really tight and you might have the rise portion of the shank touching the bumper which is not ideal. In that case you'd probably want to go with something a bit longer.
